After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

"Shall we set up an array to protect your safety in Azure Dragon Valley?"

Gu Lin gave a bitter smile.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, you think too highly of me."

"Fellow Daoist Chu should also know what Azure Dragon Valley is..."

Azure Dragon Valley was the place where the Azure Dragon clan gathered when the demon race invaded.

Afterwards, the demon race retreated to the demon realm and sealed away the Azure Dragon Valley using some unknown secret method.

Later, a powerful being broke the seal and infiltrated the Azure Dragon Valley alone, never to be seen again.

After that, many sects also wanted to sneak into Azure Dragon Valley and get a share of the profits.

However, the demonic energy in Canglong Valley is terrifying, and many sects probably cannot withstand even the outermost demonic energy.

“I know, so this time I only plan to go to the outermost perimeter.”

"Our cultivation levels are already sufficient, and with your formation, as long as we don't venture deep into Azure Dragon Valley, staying on the outskirts for a few days shouldn't be a problem."

Chu Luobai said calmly, she had already weighed her own and Gu Lin's combat strength.

Moreover, Gu Lin also said in his previous life that he had a special way to hide in Canglong Valley.

If he stays inside for ten days or half a month, no one can find his whereabouts.

"But this formation requires quite a few rare materials..."

Gu Lin looked troubled.

"Since I asked Fellow Daoist Gu to set up the formation, I will naturally provide the materials needed for the formation."

Chu Luobai had wanted to explore Canglong Valley for a while, and she had already prepared the necessary materials.

"As for Fellow Daoist Gu's hard work fee, it will definitely be calculated separately. I can guarantee that I will not let Fellow Daoist down."

Hearing Chu Luobai's directness, Gu Lin knew there was no need to be coy anymore.

"Since Fellow Daoist Chu has extended such a warm invitation, it would seem rather impolite of me to refuse."

"It takes about half a day to get to Azure Dragon Valley from here. When should we set off?"

How is it tonight, at this moment?

The matter in Qiu Kingdom will take some time to resolve, and Chu Luobai can't do anything else by staying here. He might as well finish up the things at hand as soon as possible.

"Don't you need to inform Junior Brother Qiu Lin?"

Gu Lin couldn't help but ask, "Chu Luobai acts too decisively. Sometimes I can't even figure out what this female sword cultivator is thinking."

"No need. With Xiao Lin here, nothing in Qiu Kingdom can threaten their safety."

Chu Luobai shook his head slightly; it was just a trivial matter of leaving first.

“Alright, these are the materials needed to set up the formation. I have quite a few of those talismans in stock. See if you have all of these materials.”

Seeing Chu Luobai say this, Gu Lin didn't intend to interfere in other people's sect's affairs, so he simply made a list of materials and handed it to the other party.

Chu Luobai took it and glanced at it.

Just as she had anticipated, the materials were all prepared in advance.

Even if there were any missing spiritual herbs, they were conveniently obtained from the gourd.

Chu Luobai rummaged through her storage ring and Qiankun bag, gathered all the materials into a Qiankun bag, and handed it to Gu Lin.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, please tell me if there are any missing materials?"

Gu Lin hadn't expected that Chu Luobai had already made preparations in advance. You see, this formation was something he created himself, and all the materials were very obscure and rare.

Gathering all these materials in a short period of time is quite a difficult task.

Just how many resources does Chu Luobai have...?

Gu Lin's eyes were deep as he carefully examined the contents of the Qiankun bag.

"No problem, this is enough."

"Shall we... set off now?"

........

Outside the main hall, Xiao Lin, who was excitedly pondering who to ask for help in refining pills, looked up and saw his senior brother and Chu Luobai flying out of the main hall one after the other, heading straight into the distance.

"No, they're just leaving like that?!"

Xiao Lin's eyes widened, and soon, the two figures disappeared into the night.

"You didn't even tell me where you were going?"

Xiao Lin looked somewhat helplessly at the palace in the distance, where the lights were still on.

"Now only Qiu Lin and I are left to stay behind again."

"Forget it, I'll just go find him and stick together for warmth. I wonder where my senior is going this time."

Xiao Lin sighed and scratched his head before getting up and walking toward the palace where Qiu Lin was.

................

On the second day, it was just dawn.

Chu Luobai and Gu Lin have arrived at Canglong Valley.

Although it is called a 'valley', upon closer inspection, it looks more like a bottomless abyss.

Stretching for hundreds of miles from east to west, all one can see when looking up is the white mist rising in the early morning, enveloping everything above.

The white mist appeared gentle and harmless, but in reality, it was a demonic aura carrying deadly toxins.

This was left behind by a powerful member of the Azure Dragon Clan who fell from grace. For humans, even a tiny bit of it would be fatal.

"This location is good. How about I set up the formation here?"

Gu Lin looked at the thick white fog in front of him. This place was the deepest he could reach by relying solely on his physical body and the spiritual power within his body.

After communicating with the gourd in his mind and confirming that this place was suitable for settling down, Chu Luobai nodded slightly.

"Then I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Gu."

Gu Lin was in charge of setting up the formation, while Chu Luobai stood guard on one side.

The trees in Canglong Valley are lush and verdant, yet not a single sound of life can be heard. If it weren't for the occasional breeze, one might feel as if even the air itself has fallen into a deathly silence.

Chu Luobai looked at the thick white fog in front of her. She had been here before in her previous life, but at that time she was not deep enough to go into this place and could only look at it from a distance on the cliff.

"I never imagined that one day I would be able to enter this Azure Dragon Valley."

Chu Luobai couldn't help but sigh, and with the blessing of the Eye of Truth, the white mist in front of him completely revealed its true form.

The white mist disappeared, replaced by a red mist filled with the stench of blood and a violent aura.

Chu Luobai looked up and saw that the closer he got to the depths of Canglong Valley, the thicker the red mist became.

At its deepest point, the mist was indistinguishable from flowing, viscous blood.

Those trees that appear lush and green on the surface are actually covered with piles of white bones and entangled with some unknown black vines.

Amidst the sound of the wind, the faint roar of a dragon gradually began to mingle.

The sound was like the mournful cry of a dragon that had been trapped there for a long time.

"Is this the true face of Azure Dragon Valley?"

Chu Luobai gazed into the depths of Canglong Valley for a long time, wondering if the powerful figure who broke the seal of Canglong Valley was still inside.

"Forget it, this Azure Dragon Valley is not a place I can explore right now. Perhaps when I break through to the Mahayana Realm, I will have some resources and be able to come and explore it."

Chu Luobai murmured, then looked away.

Meanwhile, on Gu Lin's side, the prototype of a restriction formation had already taken shape under his hands.
